I have used this property before. It is quiet, clean and the staff are lovely. It is a short walk to the Royal Concert hall. It is my number one choice for central Glasgow.
Right at the edge of the historic and shopping areas. A lot of graffiti but we never felt unsafe, and there are murals all around. Visited the Scotia bar next door and got some great local vibes. Everyone we met was very friendly and helpful. Paid parking was close by.
Good enough place. Facilities very basic, shower not very strong and breakfast was extremely basic. Good base though and although bed was small it was comfy.

Good accommodation with car park with subsidised and reasonable parking charge just across the hotel. Great food made the stay more convenient, comfortable and enjoyable.
Will recommend and definitely visit again.
I highly recommend this hotel, me and a friend travelled up for a gig and the staff member we spoke to on the desk was lovely and gave us travel advice on how and where to get around which was very helpful. We stayed in a room with 2 single beds and they were really comfy and the pillows were great too so we had an amazing nights sleep :D there is also a car park over the road too which was handy.
The rooms were spacious and the bathrooms big. It was nice to have breakfast available. The location was close to walk places but the area didn’t feel incredibly safe and a couple of evenings there were people who were yelling and slamming things in the middle of the night.
Wonderful stay overall. Room very cold, without much heat. Great location for getting around town and a wonderful staff.
Sophie was exceptionally helpful and got us a heater for our room.
An ideal base for exploring the city and surrounding area. Staff very friendly, and hotel facilities all very good. Room was clean and comfortable and we all had a good night's sleep. Lots of information available for those new to area and excellent transport links a short walk away.
